Construction company John Sisk & Son claims it has become the first contractor in Europe to introduce robotics to building projects.
The company says it is investing €150,000 as part of its “commitment to enhance productivity” on its sites and minimize health and safety risks to its workforce.
The innovative robotic tool known as a Material Unit Lift Enhancer – Mule – was developed by the New York-based company Construction Robotics.
It is now operational at Sisk’s Wembley Park E05 site in London, a major residential development. It is being used in the construction of the multi-story car park comprising 140 car bays, 650 bicycle spaces, 77 coach bays, and 202 accessible parking bays.
The car park will form the base of a new residential development next to Wembley Stadium, offering 458 Build to Rent apartments managed by Tipi.
